Pools: Make `PermissionlessWithdraw` the default claim permission (#3438)
Related Issue https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3398 This PR makes permissionless withdrawing the default option, giving any network participant access to claim pool rewards on member's behalf. Of course, members can still opt out of this by setting a `Permissioned` claim permission. Permissionless claiming has been a part of the nomination pool pallet for around 9 months now, with very limited uptake (~4% of total pool members). 1.6% of pool members are using `PermissionlessAll`, strongly suggesting it is not wanted - it is too ambiguous and doesn't provide guidance to claimers. Stakers expect rewards to be claimed on their behalf by default - I have expanded upon this in detail within the [accompanying issue's discussion](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3398). Other protocols have this behaviour, whereby staking rewards are received without the staker having to take any action. From this perspective, permissionless claiming is not intuitive for pool members. As evidence of this, over 150,000 DOT is currently unclaimed on Polkadot, and is growing at a non-linear rate.
